Adam,

thanks for the calculations.

The 'traditional' H1/H2 revenue ratio for Intel is 45%/55%.

Given that :
Q1 + Q2 = 6.9B+6.3B = 13.2B (which is 45% of the year).
So, a normal seasonal year will have 13.2*(55/45) = ~16.0B
if Q3 is 6.6B, Q4 has to be 9.4B!

I dont see any way at all this will happen! However, the point here is that Q3+Q4 is a lot higher than your assumptions (in a normal season). And if were to happen even to a lesser extent, than the yearly eps numbers may not need to come down too much.

Maui.
